Lyrics: They told me, Keep your eyes on the water. Keep your hands on the wind. Keep your heart small enough to survive. But I was born with a noise in my chest, Like something beating against a locked gate. Every horizon looked thin as a veil, Every warning came late. My father stitched a pair of white lies, Wax and feather, thread and prayer. Said, "Boy, the sea takes less than the sky. Stay low if you want to be spared." But the sun was calling me by my name, Not like a god, Like a door left open. I know what waits above the blue. I know what heat can do. Still every scar in me rose to life The moment the light broke through. I am Icarus! I did not fall, I flew! I touched the fire they told me fear, And for a breath it all was true. Let the gold melt through my hands, Let the white wings come unstitched. Better one blaze against the sun Than a lifetime in the ditch. I am Icarus! Ash in the mouth of noon. If I was born to break at all, I’d rather break from reaching you. Below me, the world turned small and still, A map of fields I could never become. No throne in the dust, No safe little grave, No gentle surrender to numb. The sea kept whispering, "Come back down." The air went thin like a wounded hymn. But I have never loved a thing The way I loved that edge of him— That burning crown, That merciless bright, That holy violence of height. I heard my father somewhere below, A thread in the roar, a ghost in the glow, But all of my fear had already turned To hunger no flood could drown. I am Icarus! I did not fall, I flew! I kissed the fire they called a curse, And for a breath it let me through. Let the gold melt through my hands, Let the white wings come unstitched. Better one blaze against the sun Than a lifetime in the ditch. I am Icarus! Ash in the mouth of noon. If I was born to break at all, I’d rather break from reaching you. So tell them I was not careless. Tell them I was awake. Tell them I saw the wax begin to weep, Felt every feather shake. Tell them The sky was worth the wound, The fall was worth the view, And if the light had opened twice— I would have gone there too. I am Icarus! I did not fall, I flew! I tore my name across the day And left it burning in the blue! Let the gold melt through my hands, Let the last white feather drift. Better one heart split by the sun Than a soul that never lifts. I am Icarus! No prayer can make me small. I was not made for safer roads— I was made to want it all! I am Icarus! Remember what I chose: Not the drowning, not the dark— The light that no one holds. If I fell, I fell shining. #Icarus #GreekMythologySong #DarkRockBallad #CinematicRock #MythologyMusic #DarkFantasyMusic #EpicRockBallad #HollowWings
